Neighbors
Charles Sandage
From the Singing of Grandpa Jones
I have not yet decided on a key so I have given the Chords in I, IV, V format
Grandpa Jones does the song in the key of A so the corresponding chords would be:
I - A
IV - D
V - E

    I
1. Choose your friends for their power, 
               IV             I
   Trade your love for their gold; 
   I                 V          I
   It seems like a sign of the times. 
    I
   But some folks remember 
          IV           I
   What neighbors are for, 
                          V           I
   And some of them are neighbors of mine.

Refrain
   I
   I have lived among some good and gentle people; 
           V                           I
   I have walked in a strong, growing land. 
   I
   I have sung songs I know 
           IV
   I will hear once again 
          V                      I
   Being sung by some heavenly band.

2. Building cities of steel, 
   Building highways of stone, 
   We've forgotten what this good earth is for. 
   But somewhere there's land
   Still held in God's hand, 
   And some of it lies near my door.

Refrain

3. I hear talk every day 
   Of a world going wrong, 
   I hear talk of the times left behind. 
   But a long summer's night 
   Full of fiddles and song 
   Is a sound that I hold in my mind.
